Found out my 'quick fix' for a slow website was making it worse
I was sure my site's images were the problem, so I used a free plugin to compress them all. My page speed score dropped from 65 to 40. A developer I hired last week ran a test and showed me the plugin was adding over 2 seconds of load time with bad code. I had to manually remove it and re-upload the original images. Has anyone else had a plugin backfire this badly on their site?

Two seconds sounds like a lot, but was the site actually broken for users?

Yeah @kelly.parker, broken is a strong word, but two seconds of lag definitely makes a site feel unusable.
